The Mount Sinai Joint Replacement Center

The Mount Sinai Joint Replacement Center provides advanced orthopaedic treatments to eliminate pain and restore ease of movement for a variety of hip and knee conditions, from arthritis to torn cartilage. Treatments range from minimally-invasive procedures to complex reconstructive surgeries. We prescribe non-surgical therapies as well. We tailor our treatments to each patient’s individual circumstances.

Our surgeries include:

• Arthroscopic surgery
• Minimally-invasive total hip and/or knee replacement
• Partial hip and/or knee replacement
• Patello-femoral replacement
• Realignment procedures
• Hip resurfacing
• Osteotomies

Mount Sinai orthopaedic surgeons are experienced in handling complex revision surgeries of the hip and knee and work alongside specialists in other disciplines to ensure the best outcomes. Be assured that the surgeon you meet with before your surgery is the same individual performing your surgery.
